Text to Speech for Voiceovers and Video
ThisVid text to speech turns a written script into spoken audio with a selected AI voice. Create a standalone recording, narrate a video, or prepare speech for a talking avatar and video tools that accept audio input.
An AI Voice Generator for the Words You Want Heard
Enter the text you want spoken and choose a voice that fits the language and delivery. Generate the audio, listen for pronunciation and pacing, then download the version you want to use.
Text to speech creates the voice track itself. Add it to an edit as narration, use it to animate a talking portrait, or supply it to a video model with audio input. Choose the next tool according to whether you need a voiceover, a speaking face, or audio-guided generation.
Choose How to Create Your Voice
Start with text to speech, then use the other voice modes when your project calls for them.
Text to Speech
Choose a library voice and turn your script into audio. Use this mode for narration, spoken introductions, and other single-voice recordings.
Voice Design
Describe the kind of voice you want in the voice-design mode. Use the result to explore a vocal character when a library voice is not the right fit.
Voice Cloning
Bring an authorized voice recording into voice-cloning mode to explore speech with a similar vocal character. Use a clean reference with one speaker and little background noise.
Language and Voice Choice
Choose a voice suited to the language of your script. Listen closely to names and regional pronunciation instead of assuming every voice handles them equally well.
Speech for Talking Avatars
Prepare the audio before creating a talking portrait. This is useful when you want to settle the delivery or reuse the same recording elsewhere.
AI Dialogue
Switch to AI dialogue for a script with separate speakers. Keep each speaker’s lines distinct rather than putting a conversation into the single-voice text field.
Make Your Script Easier to Listen To
Good spoken delivery starts with clear writing and a suitable voice.
Treat the script as something a person will hear once, not a paragraph they can reread. These checks help you prepare the wording before generating speech.
Tone
Match the message
Choose a voice that suits the subject: an explanation, a welcome, and a dramatic passage need different delivery.
Sentence Length
Write for listening
Break up sentences with several clauses so the key point is easier to follow.
Natural Pauses
Let punctuation guide the flow
Use sentence boundaries deliberately. Listen to the result rather than assuming punctuation creates an exact pause length.
Names and Numbers
Check what will be spoken
Expand ambiguous abbreviations and write numbers in words when their intended reading is unclear.
Language Fit
Listen for pronunciation
Choose an appropriate voice and review unfamiliar names or regional terms with someone who knows the language.
Timing
Fit the words to the scene
Shorten the script when it runs too long. Keep room for viewers to absorb the visuals instead of filling every moment with speech.
Take Your Voiceover into a Video
Choose where the voice belongs before building the visuals.
Narration, talking-avatar speech, and model audio references serve different purposes. Prepare a clear recording here, then choose the next workflow according to how the voice should affect the video.
Narration Over Footage
Download the audio and place it in your editor beside generated clips, screen recordings, or other footage.
Speech for a Portrait
Use the recording in the AI avatar tool when the person on screen should speak those words.
Audio Input for Video
For a model that accepts audio, provide the recording in its supported input. Check what that model uses the audio to control.
How to Convert Text to Speech Online

Write the Spoken Text

Create individual lines with a selected or designed voice. Use dialogue mode when the scene calls for multiple speakers.
Lesson Voiceovers
Explain alongside the visuals
Record instructions or explanations to accompany slides and demonstrations. Leave pauses where learners need time to look.
Product Narration
Clarify what the viewer sees
Write a focused voiceover that explains a benefit or action while your video shows the relevant detail.
Short Video Voiceovers
Keep the message concise
Create a hook, explanation, or closing line for a short video. Match the script length to the available screen time.
